This week the Government announced comprehensive review of the Feed-in tariffs (FITs) scheme, which makes proposals that would affect any Solar PV installations from now. The headline change is that a new tariff would be introduced for schemes up to 4kW in size of 21.0p/kWh – down from the current 43.3p/kWh.
